1. ويوم كأن الشمس والغيم دونها

    حجاب به صينت فما يتهتك

    And a day when the sun seemed—with clouds before her,

    a veil that kept her sheltered and was not torn—

  2. عروس بدت في زرقة من ثيابها

    يجللها فيها رداء ممسك

    a bride appearing in the blue of her garments,

    with a musk-hued cloak enveloping her there.
